Composite Admission Index Score
Freshmen and transfer students with less than 24 hours of college credit must achieve a Composite Admission Index (CAI) score of at least 60 and have at least a 2.00 cumulative unweighted GPA. Your CAI is calculated by multiplying the unweighted GPA by 20, then adding the ACT score (SAT scores are converted to the equivalent ACT score). [Note: the GPA portion of the score can contribute a maximum of 50 points to the calculated score.]
Examples
The following examples display each step of how the CAI is calculated using Unweighted GPA & ACT Score.
GPA = 3.00; ACT = 19
- CAI = min(GPA*20, 50) + ACT
- CAI = min(3.00*20, 50) + 19
- CAI = min(60, 50) + 19
- CAI = 50 + 19
- CAI = 69
Student is admissible.
GPA = 2.40; ACT = 20
- CAI = min(GPA*20, 50) + ACT
- CAI = min(2.40*20, 50) + 20
- CAI = min(48, 50) + 20
- CAI = 48 + 20
- CAI = 68
GPA = 1.90; ACT = 22
A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required, regardless of CAI score.
GPA = 2.10; ACT = 17
- CAI = min(GPA*20, 50) + ACT
- CAI = min(2.10*20, 50) + 17
- CAI = min(42, 50) + 17
- CAI = 42 + 17
- CAI = 59
Student is currently ineligible for admission because the CAI is not greater than or equal to 60.
